Chapter 8 How Do Portuguese Principals Deal with Competing Demands?

Abstract

This chapter reports on findings from a broader piece of research focusing on the views and experiences of leadership from the point of view of school principals and teachers. Data were collected through focus group and interviews. Findings point to the increased complexity of the principals’ role, ambiguity in the use of the terms principal and administration team and the need of the school principals to deal with competing demands situated in different logics around issues of performativity, bureaucracy and democracy. Implications of the findings are discussed.

Schools and teachers are facing various challenges in a rapidly changing world. In such circumstances, discussing and sharing concerns of mutual interest regarding policy, practice and research is crucial to creating more sophisticated understandings of the various challenges as a first step in the improvement of education. While the future should not be imprisoned in the past, the past does provide valuable lessons that will undergo new iterations in constructing the future. The future will be multi-faceted and complex and the different chapters included in this book are intended to provide important contributions from which to build the future of education.
The different chapters provide readers with international perspectives, frameworks and empirical evidence of legacies, continuities and changes in educational policy, practice and research in teaching, teacher education and learning. We hope that they inspire the readers to build the future and to change their own professional realities.
